everybody spoke highly of the chautauqua program there was not sufficient names secured to ensure their return next year again no real effort was made to secure a new contract and as those who sponsored the program this time had to come through for quite a few dollars none of the guarantors were ambitious in promoting a new deal the sixteen guarantors were short 150 on the contract which

and therefore we look forward with increased hope to an early spring the day was dull and for the most part stormy according to the timehonored be lief if old bruin saw his shadow on february 2nd lie would return to his winter quai tes for another six weeks hut if the day is dull and he is unable to see his shadow then he stays out and goes to work in search of food alost people were satisfied with sumlay being the dull day it proved to be if they hold a firm be lief in this adage about the bear the fourday chautauqua which closed here on monday night con cluded some of the finest programs ever brought to stouffville and the ticket holders we believe were all more than pleased with the enter tainments provided the dramas musical programs and lectures were highly instructive and were given by the best artists in their respective fields the sixteen guarantors who made it possible for the people of this district to enjoy these programs will each have to put up a few dollars to pay the guarantee of 49 6 probably due to the many entertainments of one kind and another at this season of the year the attendance was not nearly so large as it might have been and the number of tickets sold accordingly fell far short however the guarantors have no kick to make and if they have done anything to give the public a treat as well as something of educational value on world matters they are satisfied to have accomplished that farmers needs mrs mary selina raymer who died in markham village december 2s owning an equity of s50 in a house in markham and 4452 personal estate bequeathed a

pro prietors thos and harry fong wherever dr hsieh goes he is known to the men of his race and they all honor him as a great man hence this little banquet was no ordinary occasion the chinese diplomat sat at the head of the table and dr ball and professor c e powell principal of the high school on his left with ye editor and president harry klinck on the right the doctor arrogated these assumed titles to his newly found friends for he is wit and merriment from start to finish there were two or three icourses with lots of tea oh yes the chinese doctor is an expert on tea and after the hosts served the best pats they could produce which were pronounced good the man at the head of the table pulled out his own little tin box and demonstrated the making of tea for the benefit of us all it had still a different flavor at the commencement of the meal dr hsieh gave us a lesson in handling chop sticks for this was the means we had of conveying the food to o ur mouths these he explained were chinese symbols of peace and each guest was later givon an autograph ed pair knives and forks were re garded as implements and were therefore taboed and the new method of eating did put merriment into the party given plenty of elbow room- harry klinck did very well with the new food purveyors and the rest were struggling infants for the most part the honored guest is a wonderful entertainer
